Bin X. Nguyen arrived at the age of the mid -2000s in the apogee of celebrity paparazzi culture, watching MTV, studying on Teen Vogue and following icons such as Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie of their room in the Suburbs of San José.
“Escaping from the mundane life of the suburbs was really what influenced my childhood,” says Nguyen. “When I was 8 or 9 years old, seeing 'America's Next Top Model' with the icon that is Tyra Banks and watching 'Project Runway', I was very inspired by fashion. You saw how glamorous and little glamorous is fashion, and somehow this world was so attractive to me.”
“The Devil Wears Prada” came out when Nguyen was a teenager, who describes as the “catalyst” for his time as a fashion and culture writer in his university newspaper, and later, Santa Barbara magazine. While he was there, he met the stylists on the cover shoots. Between witnessing their creativity in real time and consuming media such as “The Rachel Zoe Project”, Nguyen decided to move to Los Angeles and begin his career as a professional costume stylist.
Bin uses the synthetic leather coat, the Boohooman jacket, the Bottega Veneta pants, the Dora Teymur boots.
These days, Nguyen is known for designing everyone's favorite musicians, from Katseye to Model to follow and Phoebe Bridgers, with many intermediate actors: think of Lana Condor, Jonathan Davis, Laysla de Oliveira and Alexandra Shipp.
It emphasizes the importance of cultivating a sense of identity through style: “I just want to create a beautiful job that inspires people. At the end of the day, I want to make lasting images to which people refer.” He often moves away from his Vietnamese heritage, extracted from the layers of an Áo Dài while working.
“Reference to the old Vietnamese photos of the 70s and 60s it is really important to bring my culture to the vanguard of fashion,” says Nguyen. “Having small touches to talk to you, whether your jewels or your hat or your scarves, all these things are important for you as a special and dynamic being.”
Nguyen jokes that his personal style does not always give the
“It is the, we live in Athleisure. Do not be misunderstood, when I return, I am in Athleisure. But when I go out, it is important to serve,” says Nguyen. “You want to serve, as the girls say, c.
My most memorable session was with an NBA player named Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. We filmed in a super fast hotel room. I love a pop girl and an athlete, I think the customers of my dreams are both. I just want to show the body and skin, and I want them to look ultra cool.
A session that I am more proud is With Katseye for the cover of Teen Vogue. It is so special to work with a group of diverse girls, and are so unique and talented. Aesthetics was in the early 2000s, shirt, young, fresh, such as Abercombie. That is something that I grew up seeing all the time, like the models in the Abercrombie bags and go to Hollister and see its design.
So they wanted to incorporate that in this 2025 version of it, but diverse and great. I think we definitely do it. It was also a complete circle for me because when I was 15 and 16, Teen Vogue was the magazine I subscribed to. I would collect copies every month and there is still a battery in my closet, so it is very exciting to have that moment now.
A moment when I felt I did was Reach the first Pharrell track for Louis Vuitton. There was a choir that came out and sang this incredible song and Rihanna and Asap Rocky were sitting in front of me. Tears began to fall from my eyes, and I thought, this is part of the dream that I had to be part of this life. Just being welcome in this space feels so crazy for me.
Bin wears jacket and suit pants Tom Ford, Vintage Gucci of Tom Ford shirt and belt, Dora Teymur boots.
Some of my dreams to work are Photographers like Steven Meisel and Inez & Veloodh. I would love to make beautiful images with Nick Knight. In terms of celebrities, Zoë Kravitz, Bella Hadid, Nicole Kidman, but at the same time, I want to work with a new talent like Tyla and Chappell Roan. Everyone has a sense of identity. I think it is very important to have your own style and your own personal creative ideas of what you want.
Those girls have really perfected and cultivated their identity. And when you look at something, especially if you look at a dress or a work of art, and associate that art or that garment with that girl. I want to create that with my own customer one day.
Three words to describe my own daily style are Sensuality, preppy and avant -garde. I love American sportswear. Ralph Lauren is a great influence of mine, but there is always an advantage. There is a small high secret, and you will only know when they mean. There is a mystery.
BIN uses the Roberto Cavalli file for the H&M vest, Levi's pants, Stetson's hate, acne boots. BIN uses the Roberto Cavalli file for the H&M vest, Levi's pants, Stetson's hate, acne boots.
An ideal day in Los Angeles is Taking an hour to do a yoga class or walk around the park. I walk once a week for two hours. I love my work, but it is also very important to take care of your mental health and be in nature and find gratitude. It is called the walk of the tennis court of Vermont Canyon and you go to Dante's peak.
Like a Aries, My personal style is Always changing because my personality is very spontaneous. You just want to do things all the time. You never stop. If you know an Aries, they say: “Let's go here, let's do this, let's go there.” I think that plays in much of my work and my clothes. I am always thinking, what can be different in terms of this image?
My emotional support garment is A 4 -inch start. I am not the highest person, and when I use my boots I am not yet the highest person, but it causes a sense of confidence in which I can trample somewhere. Sometimes that is all you need, and change your posture, and you feel that you can knock down anything.
If it were a cocktail, it would be A St. Germain Spritz. His name is Hugo Spritz, but his nucleus is St. Germain, Prosecco and Club Soda, and on a summer day with mint and lemon … it is very delicious. I wish I had something in my refrigerator. It is the most refreshing drink. And I am antiaperol. It's about Hugo, as if you had to experience Hugo Spritz. Your life will change.
Bin uses Burberry coat, Bottega Veneta pants.
This summer, everyone will use long -lasting shorts. More people wear shorts now, it is no longer above the knee. And Havaian babies and flip t -shirts.
If last summer it was mocose summer, this summer is Where I will be really stupid for the last time. It is from personal experience. This is the last summer of my 20 years. I feel that I can escape with certain things in my 20 years before turning 30, so this summer will be crazy and stupid for me. When he turns 30 in April, it will be an intelligent spring, such as business knowledge, strategically everything. But this summer is going to give, let's vomit. We drink like, ton of alcohol and vomiting, because I have a summer to do it.
The best vintage findings are in the Long Beach antiques market. The third Sunday of the month, is this lady called Veronica. You will find the most incredible harvest. The appearance I used for Vuitton's show was his vintage position. And I love goodwill in San Fernando in Atwater Village, where you buy by Libra. You literally have to enter with gloves and your headphones because it is such an intense experience, but it is very cheap and I have found gems of that good will.
Bin uses robe and boots Loewe, jeans haikure.
It is so insertious For people to be like, “fashion is everything, fashion is my life.” Fashion is an important cause of global warming, and can create many damages in the world. It is not a brain surgery, but you will meet people who make him feel like brain surgery and that is when he is no longer fun. I just want to have fun and create beautiful images.
Something I want people to know about the fashion and style industry is That 75% is a hard work and Schlepping, you carry things all day, every day. It is a lot of logistics. But 25% is glamorous. There are times when you say: “Wow, these spaces in which I am really crazy, and I am very grateful to be here.” But 75% is not fun or beautiful. Many people do not know that when they enter, and they leave very fast. I do it because I love and inspire me. It is something that I wanted to do all my life, and I can attest to her with the amount of teenage voges in my closet in my childhood room.
